The Boss Inspired Great Calzone Taste Off of 2010

» 7/28/2010 11:30:48 AM » x-posted » post a comment

My first thought when George Steinbrenner died two weeks ago wasn’t of Yankee Stadium or championship trophies, it was of Larry David’s voice. I guess I’m a bigger Seinfeld fan than Yankees fan. One of my favorite Steinbrenner episodes of Seinfeld is when he becomes obsessed with George’s lunchtime calzone stuffed with cheese, pepperoni and [...]

Bloody Times Square Lunch Scene

Glad we didn’t walk by this yesterday during lunchtime. (Although as shrink wrapped foodstuffs go, it still looks more appetizing than the Walgreens Sandwich.)

Mexicue Truck Hits the Street Serving, You Guessed It, Mexican Barbecue

» 7/27/2010 2:15:57 PM » x-posted » post a comment

Thanks to Lunch’er Dave for passing along this one… yesterday, the brand new “Mexicue” Truck hit the streets selling a fusion of Mexican food and BBQ (think burnt ends in a Mexican rub, topped with an arbol BBQ sauce, and habanero salsa.) Yesterday they were in the Flatiron (on 25th and Park), and today [...]

Half off Bull Rides?

» 7/27/2010 1:30:53 PM » x-posted » post a comment

Actually the bull rides are free, but this Groupon will get you $30 worth of food and drinks at Johnny Utah’s for $15 (on 51st btw. 5+6th). I wouldn’t be one of our first choice of places to eat, or drink… but half off (plus free bullrides) goes a long way (and apparently they make [...]

Name: Sarah Age: 26 Occupation: Actress/Blogger Where in Midtown do you Work?: Auditions are as [...]

Tri Tip Grill’s Tuesday Special is a Feast For 3

» 7/27/2010 9:45:04 AM » x-posted » post a comment

Press releases from chains typically go right to the trash folder here at Midtown Lunch (unless free food is involved), but one from Rock Center Concourse darling Tri Tip Grill piqued our interest. On Tuesdays the restaurant is running a summer promotion- for $19.99 you get a whole “char-roasted tri tip” and an XL [...]

El Rey del Sabor’s Chalupas Are Now $7

» 7/27/2010 8:30:21 AM » x-posted » post a comment

Even though the El Rey del Sabor carts came out with their three chalupa special late last fall, I completely forgot about them. The location closest to my work (on 49th and Park Avenue) didn’t have any signs up for it and it wasn’t on their regular menu. Well, there’s a pretty legit looking sign [...]
